Simulation Activity: You and your group have been assigned as a special United States Task Force for providing relief to the earthquake ravaged country of Haiti. Your group must come up with a short term plan to help those victims who are homeless and in need of supplies and medical care. You must also develop a long term plan for helping the people who are homeless, orphaned and injured after the initial stages of relief have taken place. Your group will make a 2-5 minute presentation to the Disaster Board (teacher and classmates) and the best plan will be implemented (awarded at the teacher's discretion).
